Halloween Caprese Eyeballs
Servings: 12 eyeball sets
Carbohydrates: 3g
Ingredients
- 12 small tomatoes
- Pesto Sauce
- 8 oz. whipped cream cheese
- Sliced black olives
- Fresh Basil
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, cut each of the tomatoes in half. Carefully spoon out the insides of the tomatoes and discard, saving the skins as shown.
- Next, empty the pesto sauce into a squirt bottle. (I found a great one at my local dollar store). Squirt pesto on the rim of the tomato skins as shown.
- Fill each tomato skin with cream cheese. It’s ok if things start to get a little messy and the pesto spreads into the cream cheese. This gives the illusion of “infected” eyeballs!
- Next, press a sliced black olive into the center of each eyeball. Using the squirt bottle, squirt a small amount of pesto in the middle of each olive.
- Finally place 1 or 2 eyeballs over a large basil leaf and skewer with a toothpick. Enjoy!
